Portland Museum of Art's Cannon Rock Sessions

Portland Museum of Art has just launched Cannon Rock Sessions, a biennieal residency program that incorporates the ways in which Winslow Homer and his studio influence American art, history and identity. Cannon Rock Sessions features a week-long residency and think tank for two guest intellects in a series of small community conversations and a public event. The theme for this year's program is weather and it's influence on art, science and culture. This year's visiting minds are Don Perkins, President and CEO of the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and Maine artist Anna Hepler.

The free public event, Summer Dialogue, will take place on Thursday, August 1st at 6:30 PM at the Portland Museum of Art.
